A comparison between the idioms of distress or the cultural forms through which French Quebecois express their distress (qualitative constructs) and the nonorthogonal factors derived from explanatory and higher order factorial analyses (quantitative constructs) illustrates the possibilities of complementarity between qualitative and quantitative approaches. The comparison shows that these two operationalizations of the concept of psychological distress are founded on incommensurable representations of distress. This article concludes that this representational dilemma of distress as a lived language or as an empirical reified entity leads to an ontological and a teleological incommensurability. 410 0$aClassiques des sciences sociales ;$v3888. 606 $aPsychology$xResearch$xMethodology 615 0$aPsychology$xResearch$xMethodology. 676 $a150.72 700 $aMasse?$b Raymond$01340244 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910132727203321 996 $aQualitative and quantitative analyses of psychological distress methodological complementarity and ontological incommensurability$93909175 997 $aUNINA
